TITLE: Effect and mechanism of asperuloside on liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver rats
摘要: 目的 探究车叶草苷调节鞘氨醇激酶1(SphK1)/1-磷酸鞘氨醇(S1P)信号通路对非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)大鼠肝纤维化的影响及机制。方法以高脂饲料饲养的方法建立大鼠NAFLD模型,将造模成功的大鼠随机分为模型组、车叶草苷低剂量组(14mg/kg,灌胃,下同)、车叶草苷高剂量组(28mg/kg)、车叶草苷高剂量(28mg/kg)+pc-NC(空载质粒,50µg,尾静脉注射,下同)组、车叶草苷高剂量(28mg/kg)+pc-SphK1(SphK1过表达质粒,50µg)组,每组12只。另取12只大鼠以正常饲料饲养作为对照组。各组大鼠灌胃或尾静脉注射相应药物或质粒,灌胃处理每天1次,尾静脉注射处理每周2次,均连续3周。末次给药后,检测各组大鼠血脂指标[总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、游离脂肪酸(FFA)]与肝功能指标[天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)]水平;观察大鼠肝组织病理变化以及肝纤维化情况;检测大鼠血清纤维化相关因子[Ⅲ型前胶原(PCⅢ)、Ⅳ型胶原(Ⅳ-Col)、层粘连蛋白(LN)]、促纤维化因子[转化生长因子β(1TGF-β1)]与促炎因子[白细胞介素1β(IL-1β)、诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)、IL-6]水平;检测大鼠肝组织胶原形成相关蛋白(Ⅰ-Col、Ⅳ-Col)与SphK1/S1P信号通路相关蛋白表达。结果与对照组比较,模型组大鼠肝组织呈现明显病理损伤症状;NAFLD活动度评分、肝组织胶原容积分数(CVF)和血清中TC、TG、FFA、AST、ALT、PCⅢ、Ⅳ-Col、LN、TGF-β1、IL-1β、iNOS、IL-6水平以及肝组织中Ⅰ-Col、Ⅳ-Col、SphK1、S1P蛋白表达水平均显著升高(P<0.05)。与模型组比较,车叶草苷低、高剂量组大鼠肝组织病理损伤症状均减轻,上述指标水平均显著降低(P<0.05),且高剂量组降低效果更好(P<0.05)。与车叶草苷高剂量组和车叶草苷高剂量+pc-NC组比较,车叶草苷高剂量+pc-SphK1组大鼠肝组织病理损伤症状加重,上述指标水平均显著升高(P<0.05)。结论车叶草苷可通过抑制SphK1/S1P信号通路活性,降低促纤维化因子、促炎因子以及胶原形成蛋白表达,从而减轻NAFLD大鼠肝纤维化。
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of asperuloside on liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) rats by regulating the sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1)/sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling pathway. METHODS SD rats were fed with a high-fat diet to establish a NAFLD model. They were randomly separated into model group, asperuloside low-dose group (14 mg/kg, i.g., similarly hereinafter), asperuloside high-dose group (28 mg/kg), high dose of asperuloside (28 mg/kg)+pc-NC (empty plasmid, 50 µg, via tail vein, similarly hereinafter) group, and high dose of asperuloside (28 mg/kg)+pc-SphK1 (SphK1 overexpression plasmid, 50 µg) group, with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 rats were fed with a normal diet as control group. Each group was given relevant medicine or plasmid intragastrically once a day or via tail vein twice a week, for 3 consecutive weeks. After the last medication, the levels of blood lipid indexes [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and free fatty acid (FFA)] and liver function indexes [aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT)] were detected in each group. The pathological changes of liver tissue and liver fibrosis in rats were also observed in each group. The levels of serum fibrosis-related factors [procollagen type Ⅲ (PCⅢ), collagen type Ⅳ (Ⅳ-Col), laminin (LN)], pro-fibrotic factor [transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)], and pro-inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-6] of rats were determined in each group. The expressions of collagen formation-related proteins (Ⅰ-Col, Ⅳ-Col) and SphK1/S1P pathway-related proteins in the liver tissues of rats were detected in each group. RESULTS Compared with control group, the liver tissue of rats in model group showed significant pathological damage; the NAFLD activity score, liver tissue collagen volume fraction, serum levels of TC,TG, FFA, AST, ALT, PCⅢ, Ⅳ-Col, LN, TGF-β1, IL-1β, iNOS and IL-6, and protein expressions of Ⅰ-Col, Ⅳ-Col, SphK1 and S1P in liver tissue were greatly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the liver tissue pathological damage symptoms of rats in asperuloside low-dose and high-dose groups were improved, and the above indexes were all reduced significantly (P<0.05); moreover, the high-dose group had a better effect (P<0.05). Compared to asperuloside high-dose group, high dose of asperuloside+pc-NC group, the pathological damage of liver tissue symptoms in rats were aggravated in high dose of asperuloside+pc-SphK1 group, and the above indexes were all increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Asperuloside can reduce the expressions of pro-fibrotic factor, pro-inflammatory factors and collagen formation-related proteins by inhibiting the activity of SphK1/S1P signaling pathway, thus alleviating liver fibrosis in NAFLD rats.
